What I don't understand is WHY? do we need sciencific studies to tell what is the right, compassionate and the human thing to do if we decide to breed a bitch. Why do we need to see proof that a tiny toy bitch suffers extreme hardships with pregnancy and whelp?
And the biggest question of all.....Where is the breeders heart? No amount of money can justify the breeding and suffering inflicted on the tiny bitch dogs....who's only purpose in this world should be to sit on someone's lap. They should be cherished and loved for what they are.....not what genes they "may" carry....I am sincere when I say I really just do not understand why we are having this discussion?
